Regarding Southgate's point of view, Steve Holland, who was originally very excited, frowned and expressed his opinion:
"But, Gareth, he has not experienced the baptism of the top league, and his confrontation ability is also worthy of further examination. Do you think Hodgson will recruit him directly into the representative team?"
"I'm not worried about his confrontation ability. He is a very smart player. Look at his game videos and highlights. Did he ever take the initiative to engage in physical confrontation with his opponent?"
Hearing this, Steve Holland was stunned, "You mean, he deliberately avoided confrontation?"
"It's better to avoid it than avoid it."
"He knows that he has poor confrontation, so he avoids confrontation and uses one-two passes and one-shot kicks to create space for himself to pass!"
"This is proof that he is playing football with his brain!"
Since 2011, Southgate has been appointed by the Football Association as the Director of Development Department of the Football Association, mainly focusing on the training of young players.
It was his two years of outstanding work that earned him strong recognition from the Football Association, and he subsequently became the head coach of the England U21 youth team.
Therefore, Southgate knows most of England's outstanding young players very well.
It was precisely because he knew so well that he admired Ling Feng who was born out of nowhere so much.
Because, compared with Ling Feng, all young players of the same age and position were crushed!
Even though he was being watched and inspected by many Premier League clubs, Derby County's young midfielder and England U21 midfielder Will Hughes was not worth mentioning in front of Ling Feng.
After a pause, Southgate continued:
"Age and experience are not a problem. The 17-year-old Walcott and Wilshere could be directly selected for the senior team, why can't he?"
"On the contrary, I feel that his joining is a very important addition to the England team!"
In the current England representative team, there are old ones, young ones, and young and middle-aged ones who are useless. They are in a period of renewal.
The team's two midfield bosses, the "double virtues" Gerrard and Lampard, are 34 years old and 36 years old.
Gerrard has maintained good form this season, with both goals and assists in double figures, helping Liverpool stay in the championship group.
Such an explosive state will definitely lock in the position of the main midfielder.
And Lampard has basically faded out of Chelsea's main lineup this season, which is to use his experience to help the young players on the representative team;
Due to age and declining physical fitness, Rooney's position has also retreated from forward to midfielder.
In fact, England's midfield depends largely on the performance of Arsenal's new midfield leader Jack Wilshere.
Known as the "minor threat" at the heart of England's midfield for the next ten years, although he can perform at a very good level at both ends of the offense and defense when playing as a central midfielder.
However, due to injuries, his state was not sustainable and stable.
If Ling Feng enters this England representative team, it will just make up for the team's shortcomings in passing threatening balls in the midfield.
There is no need for him to come in and take long-range shots, because Gerrard, Lampard and Rooney can all do it;
There is no need for him to defend and intercept in the midfield, Milner and Henderson can do both;
There is no need for him to dribble and break through, tearing apart the defense, Wilshere and Chamberlain can do it.
Ling Feng only needs to complete his job in the last pass!
. . .
Ling Feng, who was on the court, had no idea that Southgate in the stands valued him so much.
He was just happy and excited for his first career assist hat trick.
Vardy, Mahrez and other teammates came over to congratulate him:
"Congratulations, you assisted on a hat trick!"
While congratulating him, these big brothers of the team did not forget to reach out and rub his head, making his hair as messy as a bird's nest.
Even though his hair was messed up, Ling Feng always had a bright smile on his face.
He has great personal data and can help the team win.
For professional players, there is nothing better than this!
Ling Feng's third assist changed the score to 1-3.
The home team goes first and the away team goes last.
Burnley coach Sean Dyche, who was on the sidelines, covered his bald head with his hands and looked in disbelief.
One second ago, he was praising his disciple for stopping Leicester City's side counterattack;
The next second, Leicester City took advantage of this set-piece opportunity and sent the ball into the home team's goal for the third time!
At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind:
regret!
Very regretful!
I regret not telling my disciples in advance not to give Leicester City any chance to set the ball!
Conceding two goals in a short period of time directly stunned the Burnley players.
what happened?
Before they could warm up to the one-to-one score, Leicester City overtook the score.
Moreover, why do these two goals seem so simple and easy?
Opening the score, Leicester City was full of momentum.
After another kick-off, they turned from defense to offense and began to press Burnley into the half court and frantically rub against each other.
The corner kicks and set kick opportunities created caused a commotion in Burnley's penalty area.
Every set piece handled by Ling Feng was very threatening, and almost every time it landed accurately on the head of his teammates.
It's just that his teammates didn't have good luck in front of the goal. The header was either confiscated by the goalkeeper, or it was high and deflected, sliding out of the goal.
Even once, Morgan's powerful header hit the ball hard on the crossbar of the goal. The entire goal trembled, and the hearts of tens of thousands of Burnley fans in the stadium also trembled.
If his teammates hadn't complained, he could have added one or two assists in the first half.
Finally, when the referee Oliver blew the whistle to end the first half, Burnley's players and fans couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"The exciting first half is finally over!"
"The score is 1 to 3, Burnley is behind Leicester City at home"
Ling Feng, who scored a hat trick of assists in the first half, is undoubtedly the protagonist of this game.
Even if the game is only half-time. However, the commentator has concluded that the best player in this game must be Ling Feng!
After a short intermission, players from both sides returned to the court again.
Although Burnley barely mustered up morale and launched a fierce attack on Leicester City.
However, under Leicester City's ball control tactics, the remaining fighting spirit was quickly wiped out.
In the 75th minute, the impatient Burnley was intercepted in the frontcourt.
The Blue Fox quickly launched a quick counterattack and went directly to Burnley's backcourt.
Finally, Vardy pulled to the left and made a pass. Ling Feng outflanked the ball in the middle and scored, completing his fifth goal of the game.
And this goal completely killed the game!
After the goal, Ling Feng was replaced by Pearson.
What is surprising is that when Ling Feng came off the field, not only the Blue Fox fans of the visiting team, but also many Burnley fans of the home team also applauded him.
Ling Feng, who had three assists and one goal, and scored four goals, once again became the hero of Leicester City.
With his amazing personal performance, he turned this highly anticipated and crucial game into his own performance stage!
